Influenza AND cancer?

[dove]

I have seen this before. Makes me so angry
I know people mean well but it's so insensitive. People going through treatment, of any kind, have made an educated decision to go through with it.

You mean you were unaware that you have the magic cure to everything in your cupboard right now?!

Everyone is a medical expert. I don't understand why people are so stupid. I rarely bring it up, but when i do mention an MS symptom, people chime in with "you should try..." Shut up

[cabbagecabbage]

I'll call the ICU where my aunt is dying and ask if they've heard about this!!

Seriously?? And I'm crunchy. I use baking soda for all sorts of stuff. However, I don't undermine medicine or pretend I'm better than facts. I also don't repost any old shit I find without thinking.

I'd seriously have to defriend of this kind of bullshit. I particularly detest the "oncologists would be out of a job so they keep people riddled with cancer" bullshit.

I hate this too. I just want to scream because most times they've never heard of my disease, don't know how involved it is, and can't even pronounce it, but are trying to give me advice on how to cure it. Shut up! I didn't ask for your advice or magic solutions and I've been handling it just fine for 10 years.

Well boy howdy, I will call my H's oncologist and radiology dr tomorrow and tell them to cancel treatment and we'll just take care of this at home.

Ugh, stuff like this pisses me off. When my mom was going through chemo someone tried to tell me that lemon juice would cure her cancer. No.

[thatgirl2478]

just saw one of these about hydrogen peroxide too...

[chimera]

I was prescribed it by my onco. As a mouthwash to help with side effects, not to fucking cure anything.
